Image Firsts: Moonshine

Set in Prohibition-era Appalachia, Moonshine is a noir-horror crime saga from the acclaimed team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, published by Image Comics. This series follows a New York mobster sent to the mountains to secure a bootlegging deal, only to find the local moonshiner has a terrifying, supernatural secret. The first issue—collected here as an Image Firsts reprint—launches a slow-burn tale of werewolves, gangsters, and family curses, blending the creators' signature gritty dialogue with Risso's moody, shadow-drenched art. It's a compelling entry in Image's ongoing line, showcasing how the duo who redefined crime comics with 100 Bullets apply their talents to a monster-filled American gothic.
